I retained the services of Castle & Monarch after going through 2 other lawyers. They came highly recommended from a co worker. Upon my first meeting with David I was completely set at ease. David was a "real" person not using any lawyer lingo and just spoke to me as if we had been friends for years.... My divorce had been "settled" from a previous attorney that left some things ambiguous that needed to be ironed out and my ex was taking me back to court. This happened 6 years after the original separation and we now had a completely different judge who didn't receive our original settlement. Needless to say everything need to be spelled out to the new judge before we could proceed and new information was requested by the new judge. There were NUMEROUS continuances needed by my ex, and some offered up by the judge for no apparent reason. David continued to fight for my rights in the courtroom while keeping my costs down as much as possible given this situation. His persistence and knowledge paid off in the end. I always felt David was guiding me through the process, providing good advice and doing what was best for me. I would recommend David to anyone who is need of a great divorce/attorney. David and the entire office staff are top notch!!

As no two people are the same, neither are any two divorces. David has strategic thinking skills that are particularly useful in a difficult divorce case where all things don't fit neatly in a box and is especially useful when dealing with difficult personalities from the other side. He views you... as a person, not a case and makes decisions based on your overall well being as an individual. I found his accurate analytic skills of the potential overall outcome of my case imperative to my individual decision making for my future. David was the third lawyer I had retained in dealing with a difficult case and noncompliant spouse who was finally able to get my case to settlement so I could be free of the process to start a new life. I would highly recommend David Monarch and his highly professional team to anyone, especially those dealing with unnecessarily long cases and difficult personalities who need closure. He is also meticulous with his time and careful with his billing as to ensure he does not waste your resources. I am finally free after an ongoing battle he put to an end. Kind and professional with top notch service and representation.

You can STOP reading the reviews and just hire this attorney. As a father with 1 child, David Monarch is one of the best attorneys in Orange County. I have had my share of attorneys to represent me and he has done nothing but work hard during my divorce. He has done a phenomenal job at helping me u...nderstand my rights as a father. Excellent rating for David is not high enough rating. 6 stars for “AWESOME”. Thanks David for everything.

I have had an very difficult dissolution that Mr. Monarch has been invaluable in helping me with. His intelligence and immediate comprehension of all the issues, his caring and wisdom in evaluating an successful and comprehensive course of action, is outstanding. I would highly reccomend him and ca...nnot imagine a better counselor for an always challenging situation. He is always there for his clients. And he is very accomplished and dedicated.

I retained David Monarch to negotiate the settlement of my divorce, after being represented by another firm during my divorce proceeding. David settled my divorce, protected my interests and kept my attorney fees to a minimum. At no point did I question his ability or have any concern with the leve...l of attention he was giving my case, which is the opposite experience I had with the firm I retained prior to Castle & Monarch. David is honest, hard-working and dedicated to resolving a case so that his client is satisfied.
